How do leather back sea turtles take care of their babies?
They don't. Sea turtles of all species do not care for their babies. Pregnant females locate a safe beach, usually the beach they were born on, and come ashore at night. They dig a hole in the sand with their hind flippers and lay their eggs in the hole, then they cover the eggs in sand. The turtles then pack the sand down by belly-flopping on it several times, and after that, they move around in circles to scatter the sand and make it difficult for predators to follow their footprints. If there are many turtles in the area, they will most likely skip the circling step. After that, they leave. They will return next year to lay more eggs, but they do not care what happens to the baby turtles. Baby turtles climb out of the sand and dash for the water. Many of them will be eaten by predators on the way there, and few baby turtles survive the year. Very few sea turtles reach adulthood. Once they reach the water, they scatter out into the ocean. Their mother will likely never see her babies, and she would not recognize them if she did. She does not consider caring for the babies, as this is not an instinct sea turtles have. As a general rule, reptiles do not care for their young beyond laying the eggs in a safe place. There are a very few exceptions.

In inches how big is a baby sea turtle?
Sea turtles, like reptiles in general, do not raise their babies. Once the turtle egg hatches, the baby is on its own.The sea turtle (of any breed) lays eggs in a hole dug above the high tide mark, usually at night, and then returns to the sea. The baby turtles eventually hatch, and digging themselves out, hurry to reach the sea. Many turtles fail to reach the sea as predators (seagulls, foxes, etc) gather and snatch them up. Those that reach the sea are still in danger, as sharks, seals, and other predators lurk in the waves.It is only because of the vast numbers of eggs laid, that a small number of turtles survive to grow into adulthood, and will eventually return to the same beach to lay eggs.
